Google's share of the US search market appeared to slip to 77.52 percent in April from 86.94 percent in March, but StatCounter CEO mentions an anomaly in the data, likely leading to no significant change once resolved.
Microsoft's Bing and Yahoo potentially benefitted from the anomaly, with Bing's US search share rising to 13.07 percent and Yahoo growing to 7.3 percent in April, showing a global market shift.
Brave Search's spokesperson mentioned serving nearly ten billion queries yearly, indicating significant growth and making StatCounter findings more credible. Search Engine Land found Google's reported drop 'shocking'.
Efforts by Google and Microsoft to integrate AI into their search platforms have faced challenges and not shown substantial improvements, despite significant investments in AI-powered search solutions.
